Antigone (or ăntĬg´ənē ) was written in or before 442 bc, by Sophocles

Oedipus has just passed away in Colonus, and Antigone and her sister decide to return to Thebes with the intention of helping their brothers, Eteocles and Polyneices, avoid a prophecy that predicts they will kill each other in a battle for the throne of Thebes.

Antigone should be thought of as a 15 year old at most, and possibly as much younger (12 or 13).

Antigone was a strong character. Even though she realized the bad consequences she would face, she would do anything to honor her deceased brother and defy Creon.

In greek mythology, Antigone was the daughter of King Oedipus and Queen Jocasta
